I was talking with The Missus the other day about pizza - we've never made a plain cheese pizza, ever. I can't remember the last time I had just a plain cheese pizza, it's probably been a decade or more.

So we decided to change that. Dough proofed and stretched on The Super Peel:

Added homemade sauce:

Then cheese:

Fired up the Blackstone and put the pie in when the stone temp was about 680 degrees:

About 2 mins later:

Here's what it looked like after I pulled it out:

Dusted with dried oregano, then sliced:

The Missus sort of derailed my plan for plain cheese, and picked some fresh basil from the garden, so I put that on just to make her happy. Might as well cover the whole pie:

It was very tasty!
 
Sometimes a plain cheese pizza is the best option. :clap2:
 
Farkin Fark! Need a Blackstone spinner now! These needs don't end do they?

We'll be doing this more often, for sure! Without a bunch of toppings, the cheese, sauce, and crust really stand out.
 
Looks awesome Richard!! I want to buy the super peel and was wondering which you think suits the BS best?

Sako,

This is the one I have, which is 16 inches wide - the exact width of the stone in the BS oven. With this one, you can get a 15-15.5 inch wide pie on the BS oven, no problem:

The standard size is smaller, at 14 inches in width.

I did a pretty detailed write up on my blog a while back, which will walk you through the nitty gritty:
